Gun Lake Tribe offers recycling for e-waste

The Gun Lake Tribe will host an electronics recycling drop-off event in recognition of “America Recycles Day.” This free public service will be offered in cooperation with local electronics recycler, Comprenew.

The event will be held at the Gun Lake Tribe Government Office, 1743 142nd Ave. in Dorr, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14; 12 noon to 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15; and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 16.

"The Tribe supports electronic waste recycling because it is a growing concern to our environment," said tribe spokesperson James Nye. "When we dispose e-waste in our landfills it can leak harmful toxins into our soil and groundwater."
